Knitting me softly

Sweater: Mango

Button down: H&M

Skirt: Zara

Overknees: Tschibo

Boots: Nine West

Bag: Chanel  

Necklace:  H&M

I wore this simple outfit when Eric and I were running some errands. As it was one of these rainy cold days, I put some overknees on to feel comfy yet put together.  Are you as much weather sensitive as I am when it's pretty mediocre outside. I just don't radiate happiness when it's like that, as you can tell on my pics. Plus I don't like the outcome of the pictures and this look (I swear it looked so much better in person). 
What is your go to, when you are running errands?

earthy tones embedded in leather

Leather Pants: New York & Company

Blouse: Daisy Rae Boutique worn here

Belt: H&M

Pumps: Nine West

Necklace: H&M

Bag: Chanel

I knew I will get a lot of use out of this blouse when I spotted it on Kacie's Kloset Shop. The material is so flowy that is was the perfect choice for this sunny warm winter day in Sarasota. The coral colour gives the leather pants a fresh kick, the leopard heels and belt a fun twist.
I already wore the blouse in the fall (here) in a more bohemian way.

Which way do you like better?

My sassy nugget Sam  tagged me along with four other smart blogger girls to answer five random things. I'm aboard for a fun game. Since everyone is posting the title in their second language, I decided to post my title in Serbia because...

1. half of my roots are serbian. I am probably more fluent in English since at the age of 3  I refused talking serbian with my mom. I mean seriously after I went to kindergarten and had only german kiddos around me and german language was the only communication I ever heard and chatted, why should I all of a suddenstart talking in another language? My strong willed personality came to surface already then, when I told her to stop that twaddle. I must have convinced her, she never tried it after all  :-)

2. In middle school I probably spent most of my time outside the classroom and infront of the door as punishment as I didn't have the patience to put my hands up on school to share my answer to the teachers question, I screamed it in the classroom :-D. On the other hand I was the class clown and did all kind of random things OMG. My class teacher whom I had from 5th-10t grade told me he will never forget me hahahaha (of course in a positive way) :-)

3. Did anyone of you ever dared to take animals to school? -> this girl did. In 5th grade I went into the stall of my neighbour and decided to show the baby chicken the school life. In math, when that little chicken started to squeak (which was placed in my satchel) my class teacher said:" Ok Ani, not only do you chat all the time, shout in the class room.......now you are starting to squeak?" hahahaha fun times. OH that wasn't the only time by the way, like 5 years later my guinea pig had the honour to make an appearance :-) Of course he started whistling and I was in trouble again :-) As you can see I have a huge heart for animals and I love to be surrounded by then. Maybe I should take one of my neighbours pig to work? OMG just kidden!

4. You can call me the bird whisperer. My budgie was not only a great talker as his mommy, he sounded exactly like me :-). I think because of my really high voice, it was easy for him to pick up what I taught him. Oh and he loved the backstreet boys and danced to their music  and even called their name, sooooooooo cute. As a matter of fact, the backstreet boys visited my high school  in 1998 *I swear*

5. I am probably the most ticklish person in the whole wide universe. When my chiropractor just reaches the side of my body I start giggling and make movements till he stops. When Eric gives me a foot massage which is probably the most relaxing thing ever- For other people, I am screaming and laughing as it's a matter of life and death :-). Eric enjoys my loud laughing, that he can't stop it! grrrr hahahahaha

Ok, so that was fun, right?

And now it's your turn. What are 5 of your random facts about you?

An old flame never dies Link Up

While I was organizing my closet the other day, I came across this lady's suit which I purchased 4 years ago after I graduated from university and needed an appropriate suit for my interviews. As  it is pretty conservative by its own I prepped it up with pink tights and my favourite fur vest. Taking the blazer off wearing a peplum belt and a shirt with leather panels make it so up to date and fashionable.
It's always so effective to invest in classic items as they still can be used in the far future and be mixed up with modern accessoires as I did with this costume. Houndstooth probably never gets out of style and exudes elegance and feminity. I am not a big fan of wearing a complete suit by itself but prefer using the blazer and wear it with another not matching skirt or pants and vice versa. That way outfits can be styled so versatile and appear in a new light.

Except of the fur vest, the peplum belt and the booties everything is older than < 4 years.

I am looking forward to what oldie you digged out of your closet and give renewed sparkle.
The link up series will be open till next sunday. Thank you so much!

black and emerald + Review of my blogger friends on the series an old flame never dies

Leather pants: New York & Company

Top: F21

Boots: Nine West

Belt: C&A

Bracelet: HRH Collection, Tasha

Sunnies: Esprit

Necklace. H&M

Ring: Pilgrim

Since I purchased my favourite new black pants, they have been on heavy rotation. Nothing looks as subtle and so put togehter as a simple pair of leather pants. Plus they look good with pretty much everything. WINNER I would say, especially for the price of 31$ on sale!!!
The pleated emerald top gives the look a feminine yet playful touch especially with the bow belt. An ensemble wouldn't be anilike if it doesn't contain anything playful, right? :-)

PS: I was planing on doing a LINK UP (inlinkz.com) on my series "An Old Flame Never Dies" on Monday, March 4th. 

In the past I introduced my blogger friends and their oldies but goodies look on my blog invidiually. It would be so much fun to see what all you guys come up to while shopping your closet. As it's my first time with the link up tool I hope it will work out :-).

Black and Burgundy are my favourite colour combo for this winter season, fur and leather my favourite textures. No combo is so clean and chic with a vibe of some gold accessoires.
We took those pictures in Atlanta visiting Erics brother and future sister in law before christmas. Always a blast hanging out with them and she is a goodess in the kitchen. Did you ever have oreo brownie ice cake? Hmmmmm good stuff for my love handles hahahaha :-)


PS: Thanks for your super sweet get well wishes, I am feeling better now. However I hope you never will have kidney collic in your urethra, it's the WORST pain ever * I swear by the mooon and the stars in the sky*. The 90 year old lady in my hospital room who had the same issue said "I gave birth to 4 children and it wasn't even close as painful as this".

Black is for Happiness

 

My New Year's Eve look was a complete black ensemble. Also I brought some pretty dresses with me to celebrate the end of 2012 in Florida, I didn't feel like dolling up myself. Playing with different textures and adding some statement accessories did the work. I felt comfortable yet chic enough to be taken out for a nice dinner with my man. To what pieces do you usually reach when you want to be chic but don't want to put too much effort in it?

Feeling like Catherine Middleton

Do you remember when that particular blue silk Issa dress caused global sensation????
Today I am not announcing my engagement in that blue Ralph Lauren dress [I wish I would] just taking the opportunity and giving some inspiration for an elegant Valentine's look!
You might not be marrying the heir to the throne, but you too can get Kate's effortless elegance. 

Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovely reader's and thank you so much for your encouring words in my last post.  <3
